The relationship between praying and OCD is one of the more debilitating ocd themes I’ve experienced… this started as a very young age for me. I didn’t even realize I had memories of doing this until a few years ago. I thought it was normal, which, when praying, it’s normal to ask god to keep your family safe. But this was way more than that. The prayer HAD to feel right, or I had to do it in multiples of three. If I didn’t pray, I was 100% certain something bad was going to happen the following day. This can go even further and there’s more that happens to me daily revolving around religion. Saying “amen” after thinking a bad thought or reading or hearing. Thinking god is constantly watching and judging me… Fortunately I am not as affected by this as I once was, for anyone struggling with this, you aren’t alone ❤️ #ocd #ocdsupport #ocdhelp #ocdawareness #ventyapp
